Engine and Transmission

From Car and Driver

Engine and Transmission Rating:

Carried over from the 2016 C450 sedan, the C43’s twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6 is a gem. Powerful and torque rich, the 362-hp engine pairs with a nine-speed automatic transmission that shifts its gears with both speed and precision.

What’s New for 2018?

Nothing has changed under the hood for 2018, and we expect the trio of C43 models to be as blisteringly quick as they were last year.
